Oh, Heroes Enter The Bad Girls' Pub I - Astra vs ViVi

[Jaystar]

Astra Nova vs ViVi S. Valentine
Match Rules *to be revealed*


"What? It can't be this... This is a pub?!? Agh, I must have the wrong address... The last thing I needed right now..."

Sabine Sauber was nervous - and soon almost panicking. She had been told well in advance that she would be having her next match as Astra Nova tonight - but what hadn't been told her was a certain crucial little detail. One that she only found out about after getting the following message to her e-mail.

"Ms Sauber, check in is now open for your flight JL43 to London Heathrow!"

After a confused query to the management, Sabine soon found out that for a reason she couldn't quite comprehend, her match was to take place in England! Why on earth did LAW want to send its wrestlers halfway across the world? And most annoyingly of all, forget to tell about it in advance... This probably had to be a huge deal, right? She was going to represent her whole promotion against some local superstar, or was there some other explanation for this? Odds were that the arena for this kind of match was going to be a huge one, but the address that had been given to her had now led her to the door of this pub?

What a disaster. Not only had she been informed of the match location too late, the schedule of the flight had meant that she had to take a cab straight from the airport to this location to even make it on time. And now she was probably even at a wrong location. Thank heavens, that at least LAW had booked her a business class ticket for the flight to get some rest... Like she could have gotten any in this situation anyway.

"Ach. And I already let the taxi go... I must call to-... Oh."

Suddenly, Astra spotted her picture on a poster next to the pub door. "Heroes enter the pub -night"? Oh, OK. Good news, this was the right location. Bad news, Astra was even more confused over what this all was going to be about.

After a brief pondering, Astra realized that the only logical thing she could do was to enter.

Making her way through the pub, the blonde heroine wasn't able to take in her surroundings that much. What she dearly wanted to find first was a doorman or a bartender, who could give her some more information and instructions. Luckily, one didn't seem to be too hard to find.

"Umm, hey, sorry, I'm Astra Nova... And I'm supposed to... Wrestle here tonight, I guess?" she presented herself, before lifting the opening of her sweater a bit to flash her wrestling attire, to give some more credibility to her claims.

Astra Nova - In Disguise

[Hagen-Autem]

One of the waiters in the pub would be the one to meet the newly admitted. She looked nervous, so it could be very important. Perhaps the young woman needed to go to the toilet and couldn't find it. Oh, but when the lady started to explain who she was and why she was there, the waiter turned pale.

"Oh my god!" He looked at the posters plastered on some of the establishment's walls and compared the blonde figure invited to today's match with the face of the little blonde in front of him. It was her, definitely, it was Astra Nova in person. And the most surprising thing was that no one had recognised her yet.

"Please follow me this way." Said the waiter standing behind her, trying to cover her with his tray so they would still not recognise her face. But it seemed too late because someone mentioned the cute fighter's ringname at the same time as others sighed in surprise and looked towards Astra to confirm the new rumour. "Let's hurry to her place!" He whispered, starting to trot.

...

The waiter would take her to the service door, where he would explain to the security men who she was before leaving her in their hands. And these guys would not be slow to take her to the other side of the backstage to put her in her dressing room and give her 20 minutes to do what needed to be done, because she was the last missing piece to start this wrestling show, and whatever she needed to be perfect to get in the pub's ring, would be given to her!

Sure, Astra Nova was a bit nervous and hesitant about all of this herself in the first place, but once the waiter seemed to realize who she was, their behavior puzzled the blonde girl even more. They were acting like she was some kind of a megastar! Which, of course, being a wrestler in LAW, on some level she was... But the Swiss girl certainly still hadn't gotten used to it. Especially when roaming around the LAW campus, it seemed like every other oncoming person was a wrestler of some variety anyway. But here, in this pub, it seemed like she was equipped with some special stardust...

Which, coming to now think of it, was actually very appropriate!

Sabine could even hear some fans shouting out her ring name, as the waiter was quickly leading her backstage. Amidst all the crowds, it wasn't particularly easy for her to gather her surroundings... She could guess in which part of the pub the match was likely going to take place at, but she couldn't really get a proper look into that direction. Besides, it was wisest to just follow suit where she was being led to, without getting stuck with all the crowds... Many of whom would have surely loved to get their piece of her.

Finally having gotten in to the dressing room, Astra managed to catch a moment to breathe. She also wanted to get quickly rid of her disguising attire, as it was pretty hot making her a bit sweaty already... But by the time she had started to do that, the seurity men having led her there were already gone. And they had only mentioned something about 20 minutes... Dang! Astra could have certainly used some more information... Where exactly was the match going to take place? What kind of rules were there going to be? And - who was going to be her opponent?!?

So many unknowns, and so far, so few answers. Anyway, the Interstellar Heroine did the only thing she could... Starting to prepare herself, the blonde girl adjusted her wrestling attire into perfect form and fit after the prolonged traveling, freshened up her looks a little and did some last-minute stretching. But time was quickly going by, and soon enough the heroic wrestler was pretty sure that 20 minutes had already passed... But there still was no one attending to her. What should she do? Should she go to find someone?

"Um... Helloo?" the girl called out into the corridor from her dressing room door, trying to catch someone's attention. But if she found no one, the only option was probably to start making her way back towards the crowded pub area...
